World's Championship Duck Gumbo Cookoff

Welcome to the World's Championship Duck Gumbo Cookoff! Get ready for a savory experience at Producers Rice Mill on November 29, 2025 at 11:00 AM.

The Duck Gumbo attracts a wide range of people, from celebrities to just-friendly folks. But the Duck Gumbo isn't all fun and games. There is also some very serious competition. 55 teams compete for bragging rights to the "World's Best Duck Gumbo."

Each team is required to cook 3 quarts of gumbo and 50% of the meat used in the recipe must be duck. Teams start cooking at 10 in the morning and final judging takes place at 3 in the afternoon.

Prizes are awarded for first, second and third place. But even if a team's gumbo doesn't win the taste test, each team has a shot at winning the award for Best Booth. When you visit the Michelob Ultra Duck Gumbo Cook-off, one of the first things you'll notice are the elaborate booths the teams assemble. Most have a theme and teams have been known to work all year designing an eye-catching booth.

The Michelob Ultra Duck Gumbo is also a chance to see old friends. Some people are known to see each other once a year -- and that's at the Duck Gumbo. Be sure to visit the Michelob Ultra World Championship Duck Gumbo, which takes place the Saturday after Thanksgiving in Stuttgart, Arkansas.

Don't miss the Official After Party immediately following the close of Gumbo at Open Season Sports Bar and Grill, 2307 South Main St. in Stuttgart.

You MUST be 21 to enter. NO REFUNDS WILL BE GIVEN IF ATTENDEE IS UNDER 21.
